I HAVE THIS SCULPTURE ON STOCK, IT DOES NOT DO ME ANY GOOD SITTING HERE, SO I MARKED IT LOW, FOR A QUICK SALE...
THE WALL SCULPTURE YOU SEE HERE, IS ONE OF THE NEW VERSIONS OF MY OLD DESIGNS NOWADAYS...IN THE SIXTIES AND THE EARLY SEVENTIES I DEVELOPED THE ALUMINUM BACKED WALL SCULPTURES... IF YOU DO A LITTLE RESEARCH, YOU WOULD FIND, THAT I WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO USE ALUMINUM BACKING EVER, THE FIRST ONE I MADE IN 1968...I USED TO MOUNT THE METAL ON PLYWOOD, THAN FASTENED THE SCULPTURES ON THIS KIND OF BACKGROUNDS...JUST ASK SOME OLD TIMER ARTIST ON THE EASTERN COAST... THOSE DAYS MOST OF MY DESIGNS WORE MADE OF COPPER, OR BRASS...
STERN BROTHERS IN SEVERAL NEW JERSEY STORES USED TO SELL THIS STYLE OF MY WORK BACK THAN, JUST TO MENTION ...I HAD THEM ON DISPLAY ALL OVER...FOR YEARS, YOU COULD FIND ME REGULARLY AT THE WASHINGTON SQUIRE ART EXHIBIT IN GREENWICH VILLAGE, OR THE MADISON SQUIRE GARDEN, THE JINX HARRIS SHOWS, I COULD GO ON AND ON....
IT IS MADE OF THE FINEST MACHINE GRADE ALUMINUM, 34"LONG BY 14" WIDE AND 4-1/2" DEEP...
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL ART WORK BY ME, I DEVELOPED THIS "TWISTED, CURLY SHEET METAL" STYLE, RIGHT HERE ON EBAY. I WAS ALSO THE FIRST PERSON ON EARTH IN 2006 TO INTRODUCE THIS ANODIZED, TRANSPARENT COLOR ENAMEL TO ALUMINUM ART, SCULPTURES OF ANY KIND...OR MAY IT BE A WALL SCULPTURE THAT IS ASSEMBLED BY USIG THE SHINING SILVER SHADE ALUMINUM FOR THE BACKING, WITH COLORED SHAPES MOUNTED ON IT! WHEN I STARTED THIS "RAINBOW" STYLE, JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE JUMPED ON MY WAGON... IT IS FLATTERING TO KNOW, THAT ARTIST WORLDWIDE USE MY DESIGNS AND STYLE REGULARLY ON THE SCULPTURE MARKET... I BEEN IN MUSEUMS, YET RARELY SEEN NICE WORK LIKE MINE, IN THIS ABSTRACT SHEET METAL CATEGORY... AND I MEAN WORLD WIDE! VERY PROUD OF THIS UNIQUE FORM OF FINE ART, THAT YOU SEE IN MY LISTINGS ...
BY THE WAY, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME... I'M FROM HUNGARY, ALSO I'M ONE OF THOSE FEW PERSONS WHO WORE ABLE TO ESCAPE THROUGH THE IRON CURTAIN FROM A COMMUNIST COUNTRY, WHICH HUNGARY WAS BACK THAN...MINE FIELDS...LOOK OUT TOWERS WITH MACHINE GUNS... AFTER DARK, PATROLLING SOLDERS...HAD TO BE YOUNG, AND CRAZY...
SPEAKING OF CRAZY, YOU MIGHT SEEN ME ON THE TV-S BACK IN THE SEVENTIES, I USED TO SHOOT PAINT WITH A 12 FOOT BLACK POWDER CANNON TO CREATE ABSTRACT ART ON LARGE CANVASES...
A FEW WORDS TO THOSE YUNGER ARTIST, OR TO THOSE, WHO JUST LIKE TO TRY OUT MAKING SOME METAL SCULPTURES...I WAS A DIE MAKER FOR SOME TIME BACK IN THE SIXTIES, AND HAD ACCESS TO BRASS AND COPPER SCRAP, ALL I NEEDED... AT NIGHTS AND ON THE WEEKENDS I MADE SCULPTURES, WHENEVER HAD THE TIME. JUST LIKE YOU, I LIKE TO WORK WITH METAL...MANY THINGS, THAT EVEN TODAY I SEE MASS PRODUCED, I MADE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF ABOUT 900 PLUS DIFFERENT SCULPTURES, THAT I DESIGNED OVER THE YEARS. I DECIDED, THAT I'LL RETIRE SLOWLY FROM MAKING SCULPTURES, THE WAY I'M DOING IT NOWADAYS...I'LL WRITE A TECHNICAL BOOK, OF HOW TO MAKE METAL SCULPTURES. I'LL EVEN EXPLAIN, HOW TO FIX UP A SMALL WELDER, TO WELD ALUMINUM!!! YOU SEE, ALL YOU NEED IS IMAGINATION, AND SOME SCRAP METAL...WELDERS ARE INEXPENSIVE NOWADAYS, AND ARE EASY TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM... IF YOU HAVE SOME TALENT, AND WILLING TO WORK HARD, METAL ART MIGHT BE THE RIGHT THING FOR YOU. ART COLECTORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD VISIT EBAY!!! PLANTY OF MONEY TO GO AROUND, SO JOIN IN!!! YOU MIGHT NOT STRIKE IT RICH, BUT SURE COULD PUT A FEW DOLLARS IN YOUR POCKET! IF YOU HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE WRITE TO ME, BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TELL YOU SOME TRICKS, AND THINGS YOU LIKE TO KNOW OF HOW TO MAKE METAL SCULPTURES, EVEN HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH METAL!!! I'LL PUT YOU ON THE RIGHT TRACK! HOPE TO SEE YOU RIGHT HERE ON EBAY... LET'S FACE IT... I'LL WILL NOT BE AROUND FOREVER...
SINCERELY, ALEX KOVACS
